Lu Siyuan snorted, "Can’t even take care of yourself, yet still wants to play the good Samaritan."
He analyzed further, "According to what you said, this doesn’t make sense. Xu Haiyang’s attitude just now isn’t consistent with the person you described. Could it be that you’ve got the wrong person?"
If Xu Haiyang is of good character, then it must be that Shen Mianmian’s source of information is incorrect.
In her past life, Xiaocui’s fate was so tragic, how could she have possibly gotten it wrong, "Don’t you think his enthusiasm was a bit excessive?"
It was too coincidental for Xu Haiyang to show up.
The matchmaker came looking for trouble, and he, bearing no grudges, played the good Samaritan, even offering to take her to school. All of these actions felt too fake, as if they had been premeditated.
But if it really was premeditated, what then was the purpose? Follow current novels on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Now only fifteen years old and not fully grown, in Shen Mianmian’s eyes, she was just a child, and being female, she didn’t analyze this issue from the perspective of a man.
"I also find it very strange. You messed up his marriage, and even if he were the most forgiving, he shouldn’t be so enthusiastic," she said.
From what Shen Mianmian had said, Xu Haiyang’s enthusiasm seemed a bit too much, yet his response after appearing was just right; the drastic change in behavior before and after was startling.
"Xu Haiyang shouldn’t be such a warm-hearted person." Shen Mianmian frowned slightly. Before, she had preferred to be late rather than take a ride in Xu Haiyang’s car, feeling that his actions did not match his character.
In her previous life, Xu Haiyang always remembered the cancelled wedding with Erni. After Xiaocui got married, he didn’t allow her to visit her parental home for a good while.
Because Erni had been betrothed to Xu Haiyang before, it wasn’t easy for her to visit their home. But after all, they were blood sisters. After about two years of standoff, they began to interact normally again.
However, Xu Haiyang’s true nature began to reveal itself; he spoke to Erni inappropriately and sometimes even got handsy. Once, after drinking at Aunt Liu’s house, his actions were quite over the line, leading to a fight between him and Erni’s husband.
So much so that when Xu Haiyang drove Xiaocui to her death later on, Erni’s husband wasn’t surprised at all. He had said before that Xu Haiyang was no good.
In the past, Erni’s husband had even suggested that Xiaocui should leave Xu Haiyang and introduced her to his cousin. Although the man wasn’t as good-looking as Xu Haiyang, he knew how to earn a living and wouldn’t beat or scold Xiaocui every other day.
But because of Xu Haiyang’s affairs, Erni felt somewhat unable to face Xiaocui and didn’t have the heart to bring it up...
"In my opinion, that neighbor of yours isn’t a good person either. You kindly helped her inquire about things, how could she tell others about it?" Lu Siyuan had a low opinion of such people, plain and simple it was like using the mill to kill the donkey.
Such people, you help them once and that’s the end of the association.
"I don’t think it was them who said it," Shen Mianmian pursed her lips, her voice cooling by several degrees.
Why would someone specifically target a little girl?
"If I can’t go to school, who benefits the most?"
"Your sister?" Lu Siyuan raised an eyebrow, "You mentioned before that your family can only afford to send one student to school. If you don’t go, then she can continue her education."
Although he hadn’t interacted much with Zhou Siyu, Lu Siyuan had observed her behavior; she seemed harmless on the outside, but in reality, she was the most scheming one in the class.
Take the matter of Shen Mianmian being an illegitimate child for example!
Zhou Siyu appeared to be kind to Shen Mianmian, acting like a loving sister in school, but behind the scenes, she was the one spreading the rumor that Shen Mianmian was not Zhou Lanfang’s biological daughter.
The kids at school all despised such things and once they heard Shen Mianmian was an illegitimate child, they took it as the truth and therefore disliked her.
